24.09.09 Pattaya under water once again following night of heavy rainfall.
For those unfortunate enough to be out and about on Tuesday Night, you
would have been pretty angry, especially if you were wearing your
favorite cloths or had spent hours making yourself look presentable.
Heavy sustained rainstorms once again left parts of Pattaya under
nearly a meter or water in places. The usual hotspots led to traffic
chaos and we were out and about to survey the flooding. We visited the
Sukumvit Road between Central and South Pattaya where some even
abandoned their vehicles. We were also informed that 50 houses in the
Central and North Pattaya areas had been severely damaged by the
floods. We hope that these pictures will encourage the local
authorities to continue their drainage upgrade and maintenance work
around Pattaya.
